Generic names for man-made fibres
Scope:
This National Standard of Canada contains a list of generic names, for technical and commercial use, for the different categories of man-made fibres manufactured at present on an industrial scale for textile and other purposes.
This standard contains all of the generic names contained in International Standard ISO 2076. Generic names for
other fibres in general use on the North American continent are also included.
This standard also describes a system of nomenclature for grafted fibres and for biconstituent/multiconstituent
fibres.
The use of generic names in the labelling and/or advertising of consumer textile articles is regulated under the
Textile Labelling Act and the Textile Labelling and Advertising Regulations administered by the Competition Bureau (Industry Canada). Users of this standard have a responsibility to consult this legislation regarding its application to consumer textile articles.
